Outline of life extension

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to life extension:
Life extension – study of slowing down or reversing the processes of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan. Also known as anti-aging medicine, experimental gerontology, and biomedical gerontology.
Core
- Main article: Life extension
